great experience to staying in the heritage house”

the house is located in the very center, but on a quiet street, so at night you only hear the neighbors tv, we slept great. The house has everything for life, even a washing machine. it was a wonderful experience to spend a few days in a beautiful historic house. I want to note the convenient communication with the owner - all our requests were satisfied very quickly. I wish the bathroom had been better cleaned - the toilet, sink and shower drain were dirty. I think this flaw will be fixed after my comment. it also seems to me that the furniture on the second floor is very outdated, does not correspond to the general mood of the house. however, the overall impression is very-very good. I recommend this guest house to everyone, especially families.

Unbeatable location and price. Traditional Penang style accommodation in friendly cul-de-sac. Owner is friendly and prompt. - 4 of us including a 5 year old enjoyed a nostalgic and comfortable 4 days with visiting relatives and friends amazed by this place. - Parking in front and at the end of the road made it super convenient. - Don't expect boutique decor or posh amenities but you'll be pleased with spacious practical space with all the quirks only a Penang home can offer.

Wonderful stay - homely and local experience”

Had a wonderful homely stay at Greenhouse@Popus with 2 other friends! Being to Penang multiple times, I thought I should stay in a shophouse for a change and this place certainly stood out! Meng Yau and Ah Seng were both friendly and prompt in responding. Though Ah Seng does not have whatsapp, Meng Yau was very prompt to contact Ah Seng to coordinate arrival times. The house was as shown in photographs, comfortable for 3 people (or more if they don't mind sleeping on the floor in the living room or even the kitchen). It was a fun experience trying to live like a local in a shophouse, opening and locking doors and windows..haha! Neighbourhood generally quiet except for dog barking at times (but I guess that is unpreventable). Location is excellent with famous roti canai stall just down the road, Campbell St, Kimberly St and New Lane within walking distance. There's also a CAT stop (Jalan Kedah) a few metres from the house. Will definitely recommend it!

Plenty of room, short walk to Georgetown city centre and easy and close access to bus network

Very pleasant stay and the people who assisted us were very helpful and friendly. With a bus stop (for several bus routes as well as the Hop-on Hop-off no cost route) within 3 minutes walk and the terminus for all bus routes at KOMTAR within 5 minutes walk it is a great location. Many Hawker stalls and a great bakery/cake shop close by. We caught the bus to Batu Ferringi at KOMTAR and the return trip dropped us off at the stop 3 minutes walk from home in the adjoining street.

Great House, Great Location, Good Facilities

We especially appreciated the washing machine and free WiFi. It was nice to be able to walk to some excellent eating places and we found the brochures and maps (with recommendations) very useful. The teenagers (2x15 year old girls) enjoyed the selection of DVDs and the chance to catch up with friends on Facebook! Our only disappointment was the lack of air con in the second bedroom upstairs - which made it impossibly hot to sleep in, and the inadequate mattress (and lack of a top sheet and duvet) provided as a fourth bed. Although semi rectified by the girls opting to sleep downstairs, and the arrival of another thin mattress on the last night. Popus House is clean and fresh and an excellent place for a couple to stay - long or short term.

Location,Interior,and size

Was a pleasure to stay a restored georgetown home. It was to large for a solo traveller but would be ideal for a couple or small family. The Interior of the house was well fitted out and it was a very charming place to stay. The location was great and has a far better feel than staying in a large hotel and it was a stones throw away from the attractions of georgetown mainly the food stalls.

Sharon the manager was at the property on time, and she showed us the facilities and provided us tour brochures/maps and good tips on meals, shopping & tourist attractions. Some suggestions: 1.Agoda should highlight if a property has a manager on site or nearby. 2.It would be useful to highlight the availability, or otherwise, of left luggage service. Overall, we are satisfied with our stay at this property.

Best place to stay in Georgetown - five times the size of a hotel room! You're staying amongst it in a residential neighbourhood with the usual sounds of work, familes and traffic but this is not a minus - it's all part of the experience. Walk to the best places to eat, shop and even get a haircut ($2!) Will always return - could not imagine anywhere better!

Green House @ Popus is great for anyone preferring to stay in an entire home rather than a hotel room... and it's nice to experience staying in a heritage Penang shophouse. The location is very convenient to Georgetown's main market, amazing street food, UNESCO sites and a CAT bus stop. Communications with the helpful owner/management team were pleasant and easy.
